I'm happy for Kate, but I think this is a real shame -- I think Addison's character adds a lot to the show -- her recent loneliness adds a more human side to the constant ups and downs of Meredith and Cristina. I like her being there to offset the 3 often little-boyish attendings, and her friendship with Callie; and I like what she's brought out in Alex. I'm sure this can all be developed on her own show, but I think she's an integral (and my favorite part of!) Grey's!

I think Addison's character has LOTS of room for development at GA....It's great to see a woman at the top of the food chain, one of the attendings, one of the contenders for chief. Even in "Walking on Water", we still see the complexity of the relationship between Addison and Derek...they may not be lovers anymore, or spouses, but there's definitely history & a relationship to be explored....
I realize it's a big cast - but what an incredible ensemble....I'd hate to see it broken up.

If its anything like the original Grey's then thats awesome... it will be twice as much. But its a little scarry because spin offs don't always do so good. Shonda, don't disapoint us.

i was really looking forward to Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the new show about journalists! she better cast him in this new show..
February 21st, 2007 11:27 AM
wow. this is too much to handle minutes after waking up. right after addison becomes my favorite character they take her away? seriously?
well im going to have faith in shonda and hope it turns out good. and if not and they don't send her back to sgh? dont even get me started. i guess this means she's not getting cheif... hopefully they'll send her back to manhattan. but even if her new show is a hit im really going to miss her on grey's. i love that there is a female attending, and her chemistry with alex, and her budding friendship with callie.
and hello, does anyone else remember the sag awards? best ENSEMBLE cast? why mess that up now?
February 21st, 2007 11:32 AM
ok , now all this is becoming ridiculous ! killing meredith, moving addison .... addison just can't leave ! she had managed to be a real part of the show, and not only as derek's wife ... besides she was almost gonna be with alex !!!
February 21st, 2007 11:33 AM
i DONT like where this is going... "spin-off"???
No, i dont like this, not ONE bit! elizabeth u r sooo right, what about the best ENSEMBLE cast? why mess that up now????
February 21st, 2007 11:51 AM
This is dumb. Ths show will fail. And it will mark Grey's as "Jumping the Shark."
:-P
February 21st, 2007 11:54 AM
PS: They can't cast Jeffrey Dean Morgan in a spin off of Grey's 'cause he played Denny, who is dead. Therefore, his appearance on the new show w/ Addison would be... I don't know... weird? Paranormal??
February 21st, 2007 12:14 PM
I don't quite know how I feel about this.
Sure, Addison's role on GA is great, and if she goes it may not be the same.
And her alone might be weird.
But, truth be told, her character is getting less and less atention in the show, it's obvious she has no future with either Derek or Mark. If I were she I would have moved on ages before.
But it could ruin the shows, the spin-off and Grey's Anatomy.
February 21st, 2007 12:16 PM
I have mixed feelings about this. I don't like the idea of her leaving Grey's - I really like her interacting with the interns and other attendings. I don't see how it would work to be all about an OBGYN but I do admit - Addison is one of my favorite characters.
I guess we will have to see. But I am nervous!!!

THIS SHOW IS GREY'S ANATOMY. GOOD FOR KW IF SHONDA WILL WRITE FOR HER ADDISON'S ANATOMY. MEREDITH AND DEREK HAVE AN HUGE FANBASE MORE THAN ADDISON. GA WON'T DIE WITHOUT HER.
February 21st, 2007 12:21 PM
I'm excited about this. I love Kate Walsh and Addison and I wish that she had more scenes in episodes so I have a feeling I'll love the show. :)
Most of you aren't even giving this a chance before you throw so much negativity out there. And why claim that they're killing Meredith off? This week's show hasn't even aired yet!
February 21st, 2007 12:25 PM
This is the worst idea I've ever heard. Spin-off's always suck, and this will tank and remove an awesome character for no good reason. If it ain't broke Shonda, don't try to fix it.
February 21st, 2007 12:32 PM
Addison is a good candidate for such a series. She is still enough of a mystery and an evolving character that we want to learn more about her, but has already gotten big enough that people may be compelled to watch her in a new show.
Also, there are 11 remaining Grey's Anatomy stars (assuming Meredith is saved!), many of whom have great opportunities to shine. If Mer, Der, Cristina or Burke were leaving I think the cast would be more disrupted.
It's a big gamble, no question, to fix what ain't broke, as someone said above. And the new show could really suck for a variety of reasons, as spin-offs often do.
But I think Grey's will be okay, and if the writing is good on Addison's Anatomy (or whatever its title will be), Kate will shine. If there are some compelling new characters and cool stories, hey, you never know.
I'll definitely check out the pilot!

Did people not learn anything from Joey?
February 21st, 2007 1:06 PM
I can only hope for the best. I love GA and Addison is by far my favorite character. I just think back to seeing the original ads for GA and I wasn't all that interested. My husband thought it looked good and that's why we started watching. Now, of course, wouldn't miss an episode. I have to believe with Shonda behind it, Kate Walsh's new show will be great.
February 21st, 2007 1:11 PM
shades_of_grey said it. And Pams' right - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
February 21st, 2007 1:14 PM
whoa whoa whoa whoa. if theres a second death in Some kind of miracle, and they're moving addison....?
February 21st, 2007 1:19 PM
Addison is a good character for a spin-off. And just because she gets her own show does not necessarily mean she is dead to Grey's Anatomy. She's gorgeous and fun and dynamic, but she would probably be two or three times as much on her own show, given the chance. And just because they are putting together a pilot does not mean it will be picked up. She could very well remain on Grey's if they do not permanently write her out. She could just miss out on chief of surgery and decide to find a new hospital. It sounds like a wonderful opportunity and will probably only go into effect if it is a really sturdy venture.

As long as she pops in and out of Seattle Grace
February 21st, 2007 2:12 PM
The Writer's Blog has amost 5000 hits and comments the majority of which were very unhappy about Meredith dying. This number of protests is unprecedented and the producers of GA is well aware that they cannot let Meredith or Derek go because of their huge fanbase. I am not so sure whether or not Addision can carry her own show unless they can team her up with another starpower. Having said, I wish her and Shonda much success and I will absolutely give it a try, but I will never give up Grey's Anatomy with the lovable five interns at its helm. They are the originals and they were the reason we got hooked together with Bailey, Burke, and the Chief, and of course, the one and the only Derek Sheperd.
February 21st, 2007 2:18 PM
I knew that as soons as her divorce from Derek became final and her friendship with Mer progress... they weren't going to keep her on after seson three. In fact I had read on spoilerfix.com that kate and eric dane were suppose to be gone by January 2007 but then Shonda had came up with some storylines for them and decided to keep them until the end of this season.
Anyhoo, I am sad that she won't be apart of the cast next season but I doubt they are going to kill of her character or anything. She'll just leave Seattle Grace pregant or because she'll find her calling somewhere else. But as long as she can drop in every so often into Seattle Grace then it's not like were losing her completely we just won't be able to see her every thrusday.

Calm down people. Lol. It doesnt mean that Grey's Anatomy is ending..it means it will just be another show..with addison as the main "focus". She'll probably still be on grey's sometimes 2.
I don't know how i feel about it though. I like Addison. I love her character...not to mention her gorgeous hair. I'm just going to miss having her around...but then again..it's not as funny anymore...
It was freakin hilarious in like season 2 when she would randomly appear like...when mer and der were having a "discussion" or sharing "the look". It just made things really interesting.
but ...Congratulations Kate Walsh :D
February 21st, 2007 3:13 PM
Hmmmm...Shonda has really shocked me on this one. But needless to say that everytime that Shonda has shocked me she has never disappointed me! So, I will stand behind her on this one. It may be something great and be just as good as Grey's Anatomy or it could be horrible....we just have to wait and see. If it is terrible...I trust Shonda to bring my girl and also what the name of my first born daughter, Addison back to Seattle Grace!
